Online Clash: Wizkid, Davido’s War Of Words Continues
The online feud between musical icons Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid, and David Adedeji, also known as Davido, escalated on Monday night.
Wizkid threw shade at Davido by posting a leaked video of him allegedly pleading with a female associate, in response to a fan’s request for new music.
Additionally, Wizkid dismissed the Grammy award-winning singer Don Jazzy as merely an ‘influencer’.
This sparked controversy on social media, with many speculating about the underlying issues between the two artists.
On Monday night, Davido countered the digital jabs thrown by Wizkid with a barrage of cryptic tweets, seemingly aimed at the “Ojuelegba” hitmaker.
In one tweet, Davido quipped, “Dem no know your Gbedu,” presumably directed at Wizkid, who had previously announced plans to release his highly anticipated “Morayo” album in May.
Undeterred, the “Aiye” singer continued with another tweet stating, “When light comes, darkness vanishes. Let’s get active,” further fueling speculation about the ongoing rivalry between the two musical heavyweights.
Adding to the mix, Davido shared a video featuring his wife, Chioma Adeleke, accompanied by the caption, “They were trying to distract us, baby no mind dem.”
In retaliation, Wizkid began with a scathing tweet, ridiculing Davido and his entourage, including his alleged songwriter, and dismissing their musical achievements.
He wrote “U and all ur crew plus ur pant washer songwriter go to sleep at night thinking you got anything on me in music 🤣😂 wish u all well ✌️”
He followed it up with another tweet, “U know what..no point. delusional niggas 😇 pray for y’all.”
Davido swiftly responded, denying any delusion and accusing Wizkid of being “sick.”
He wrote “WE NOT DELUSIONAL YOU’RE A SICK MAN. ”
Despite their recent friendly encounter, the tension between the two superstars escalated further when the “Jaiye Jaiye” crooner, Wizkid, fearlessly reposted the tweet along with the same leaked video of Davido.
This rift comes as a surprise to many, especially considering their recent public display of camaraderie when they were spotted embracing in a Lagos nightclub.
Prior to this reconciliation, Wizkid had even announced plans for a joint tour with his rival back in 2023.
Taking to his Instagram story, he revealed that the tour would follow the release of his fifth studio album, ‘More Love, Less Ego (MLLE)’, which debuted in mid-2023.
He wrote “After my MLLE tour!! Davido and I going on tour! save your coins! I no wan hear him.”
While celebrated as Nigeria’s top musical exports, Wizkid and Davido’s relationship has frequently been marked by frostiness and discord.

However, the businessman has repeatedly denied the allegations, asserting that he has no connection to the woman or her child.
“Children are a gift from God regardless of how they come, and I have more than enough to take care of my children, as many as possible that will come my way,” Chief Priest said.
“I have a beautiful marriage; this is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if you watch the whole attack, it is on the marriage.”
When asked whether he would have accepted the child if proven to be his, the socialite responded, “Of course.”
He also expressed his willingness to undergo a paternity test but criticized the tone of the allegations. “You cannot bash me this hard and expect my loyalty,” he added.
Chief Priest further stated that the controversy has not impacted his marriage, emphasizing the strength of his bond with his wife. “We are not just husband and wife; we are business partners and associates that are inseparable,” he said.
He also suggested that the timing of the allegations raised questions about the accuser’s motives.
“The woman is always popping up every time I have an issue that goes viral. This shows that she has an ulterior motive rather than genuinely looking for the father of her child,” he stated.
The businessman noted that the saga has persisted for some time but maintained that he has no knowledge of the individuals orchestrating the accusations.
